Does anyone know what this is? No fluffed feathers good appetite good poops. Layer diet with some fresh fruit.

Have you tried washing it off? It looks like dried urates.

No. We weren’t sure what to do. We thought it might be vent fleet so we put anti fungal in her. All her feathers are missing in that area.

On her…

I thought about Vent Gleet as well. Was there a very foul odor? If so, it could possibly be Vent Gleet.

Urates in feces can scald the skin causing feather/fluff loss, redness and irritation.

Hmmmm. Should we keep the anti fungal on her just in case?

Yes, I think it would be best to continue the anti-fungal. Here's a link for you with excellent information to refer to regarding Vent Gleet, and how long to continue treatment:

Thank you!!!

We kept the anti fungal on her. Her butt is really really white now and kinda moist . Is this normal? The texture is completely different.

Seems like it would be a good idea to bathe her and get everything clean, so you know what you are looking at.....
